Speaker 1: the sense that like all of or like of the

11
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 1: stuff is out of my old place and in the

12
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: new place. UM, very much so. Not done unpacking or

13
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 1: anything like that, so that that'll be fun. But Happy

14
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day to you man. You you know how to

15
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: celebrate it your night. I was envious of what you

16
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: were doing last night. So for everybody who doesn't know,

17
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,319
Speaker 1: which probably most of you. UM, I won. I I

18
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: married over my head and my wife. Through some coworkers

19
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: and connections, was able for Valentine's Day to get us

20
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: tickets for Warriors Clippers at Staples Center. I'm not calling

21
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: it by its current name. It is Staples Center. Um,

22
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: not only we get tickets though, we were on the

23
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: floor on the baseline, second row, just behind Clippers owner

24
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Steve Ballmer. So I don't I don't flex very often,

25
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 1: but this is a chance for me to flex because

26
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 1: my wife was awesome and hooked us up with an

27
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: absolutely great day. So we had a fun night. I

28
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 1: wish the Dubs could have pulled off the wind, but whatever,

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: that part doesn't matter as much. It was a good night.

30
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 1: It was a lot of fun that night. Absolutely. In

31
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: the meantime, we got stuff to talk about. I know

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: that the the NFL season is officially over, at least

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: the playing portion of the season is over. We'll get

34
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: to the player acquisition part of the season, uh down

35
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 1: the road a little bit. We'll talk about also some

36
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: of the coaching changes, because the coaching carousel is spinning

37
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: and really impacted one of the two teams that played

38
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl on Sunday. But let's begin with

39
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: what happened at State Farm Stadium in Glendale. Super Bowl

40
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: fifties seven. The Kansas City Chiefs are once again the

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: champions of the National Football League, a thirty eight thirty

42
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: five victory on a late field goal by Harrison, Butker

43
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: that was the difference in the game. But when you

44
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: look at this thing from a whole, I guess, first off,

45
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: did you enjoy the game? But more importantly, was there

46
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 1: anything about it that that kind of took you by

47
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: surprise when you watch that game? Uh? Yes to both

48
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: of those questions. I think the ending be damned. I

49
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: think that the Super Bowl was the best game of

50
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: the season. Like we had. We had the two best

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: teams going at it, the two best quarterbacks that played

52
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: the best this season doing their thing. I thought it

53
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: lived up to the hype and then some. My biggest

54
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: surprise though, was the Eagles defense folding like a cheap

55
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: tent in the second half like this is. If you've

56
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,440
Speaker 1: listen to the podcast or follow me or anything, you know,

57
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 1: I've been very very high on this Eagles defense since

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year. Drafted them in a bunch

59
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: of leagues and stuff, was very bullish on them, and

60
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: they looked like arguably the best out. It was them

61
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: or the Niners all year long for best defense in

62
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: the NFL in my opinion, and the strength was their

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,359
Speaker 1: secondary uh. And they had more sex than anyone by far.

64
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: This season, they didn't touch Patrick Mahomes, their secondary got

65
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: torched in the second half, they couldn't stop the run

66
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: like they made no adjustments in that second half, and

67
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 1: the Chiefs did everything right. And I know we can

68
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: say the ending and all of that. If the Eagles

69
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 1: defense plays like the Eagles defense in the second half,

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: or even anywhere close to the Eagles defense, the ending

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: of the game doesn't happen because the Eagles are probably

72
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: up by over a touchdown or at least a touchdown

73
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: what to that point. And you know, when you you

74
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of people, a lot of really

75
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 1: smart football people, of people who talked about schemes and

76
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: watch film, they will always talk about the importance of

77
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: using motion in an offense and the different ways of

78
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: using motion, whether it is to sort of help your

79
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 1: offense in terms of getting your wide receivers a running

80
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: start and letting them kind of get some momentum as

81
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: they get to the line of scrimmin physical momentum in

82
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: case Patrick Claybon is listening, not some sort of mythical

83
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: on field momentum like actual physical you know, mass times acceleration,

84
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,600
Speaker 1: sort of the momentum um, or you can use it

85
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: to kind of get some clues about what the defense

86
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: is doing. And the one thing that a lot of

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: folks kept hitting over and over on Monday and Tuesday

88
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: was the fact that the Chiefs found something during their

89
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: film study leading up to the game and used it

90
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: to their advantage. In the second half, they had a

91
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: couple of wide open touchdowns, the one deca Darius Tony,

92
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 1: and then they ran the same play basically on the

93
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: other side to get the touchdown to sky More And

94
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: they found something in that defense. We're just using that

95
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 1: jet sweep motion caused the Eagles to shift in the

96
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: secondary and allowed them to kind of use a little

97
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: bit of a head fake and get guys wide open.

98
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: And if I remember right, it was something they saw

99
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: earlier in the year that the Jaguars had done, and

100
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: I think it was Jamal agg knew that that pulled

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: off that similar move and scored a touchdown for the

102
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: Jags against Philadelphia. And so maybe that that was a

103
00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: surprise to me that somehow in the months between playing

104
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and getting to Kansas City, that they hadn't

105
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: figured that out. And look, I can't say that I

106
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 1: had watched every single play of every single Eagles game.

107
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if anybody else sort of did that

108
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: or had found that little wrinkle against them, But not

109
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 1: only did it happen once, it happened to them twice,

110
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: and maybe to me that's sort of the biggest surprise,

111
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: is that they sort of had that big breakdown. The

112
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: other thing that surprised me, Mike, was how ineffective the

113
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: Eagles run game was, because that had been such a

114
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: big part of their success all year long. We had

115
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: always talked about how they were so good at doing

116
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: whatever was necessary to win. When they needed to throw it,

117
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: they were able to throw it well. When people took

118
00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: away the passing option, they ran the ball effectively. It

119
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 1: looked early on as though the Chiefs were intent on

120
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: taking away the run option. Now Miles Sanders apparently got hurt.

121
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: There wasn't much talk about it, but he left the

122
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: game for a while, kind of came back. Was not

123
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: a big factor in the ball game at all. But

124
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: the Eagles just really couldn't run. Jalen Hurts had a

125
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 1: decent game on the ground, but that was it. After that,

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 1: nothing was available to them, and I really felt like

127
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: this was a team that, yes, they could throw the

128
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: ball effectively, but the run game was so much a

129
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: part of their d n A and Kansas City took

130
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 1: that away. I mean, my I know that the chief

131
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: run defense wasn't terrible, but it obviously wasn't the strength

132
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: of their team. But I gotta give them credit for

133
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,039
Speaker 1: what they were able to do because they they really

134
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: neutralized it and for the most part, I felt like

135
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,440
Speaker 1: they were able to make the Eagles sort of a

136
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: one dimensional team for most of the night. Yeah, I agree,

137
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,680
Speaker 1: And if the Eagles had any chance of having success

138
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,760
Speaker 1: on the ground, it was with Jalen Hurts, and even

139
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 1: in the second half, they did a good job of

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: bottling him up as well and closing his running lanes.

141
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: And I know producer hyped them wrote it in the chat,

142
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people have pointed this

143
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: out about the turf and that it was slippery and

144
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: it had an impact. It really feels like it impacted

145
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: one team more than the other. And to me, when

146
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: that's the case, I just think it's that the other

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: team was better, Like the Chiefs were better prepared, uh

148
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: they like and and going back to your point, the

149
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: turf had no impact at all on those two second

150
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: half touchdowns because they were wide open. No one else

151
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: on the camera shot with Kadarius, Tony and sky More.

152
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: To me, that is where team good coaches come through

153
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: and shine because in the regular season, the Chiefs, the Eagles,

154
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: those high end teams, they're gonna bully most teams because

155
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: they're just more talented. To me, though, when talent meets talent,

156
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: and I think you can make the case that this were,

157
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 1: if not the two most talented teams, two of the

158
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: most talented teams in the NFL. When teams like that match,

159
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: the better coach is usually gonna win in my opinion,

160
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: because the teams are so evenly matched, and Andy Reid

161
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: is one of the greatest coaches of all time. He

162
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: found a wrinkle going back months watching a game that

163
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: no offense to Nick Sirianni and the Eagles co I'm

164
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: not taking anything away from them. They were great this year.

165
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: They just they didn't find a weakness like like the

166
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:31,920
Speaker 1: Chiefs did. And it's something that you know, I not

167
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: to bring it back to two Bills like I do

168
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,079
Speaker 1: a lot, but like when the Bills lost, I was

169
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: like they got out coached, like they're not a worse

170
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: talented team. They just got out coached. And I think

171
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: that's the case a lot of the times when these

172
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: two when when two uber talented teams meet up. You know,

173
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 1: I I know there's always been talk about Andy Reid

174
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: and how great he has been throughout his career. After

175
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: the bye, basically had two weeks to sort of get

176
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: ready for Philadelphia and come up with some things and

177
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: figure it out. And I'll even give them for what

178
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: they did sort of changing from what they did in

179
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: the first half to what they did in the second

180
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 1: half because they started using more of that motion. They

181
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,600
Speaker 1: started kind of figuring things out with the Eagles defense

182
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 1: and finding ways to kind of pick them apart and

183
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: making plays. Then, of course, it also helps to have

184
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: arguably the best player on the planet right now, certainly

185
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the league in Patrick Mahomes, and

186
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,200
Speaker 1: the best tight end in the league. But we saw

187
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: in the second half, like a lot more Juju, Smith, Schuster,

188
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: We saw there is Tony Sky more, all these other

189
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: pieces get involved and really make an impact for the Chiefs.

190
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: So I think you're right. I think in the end,

191
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: when it was all said and done, the most deserving

192
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: team won, and you know, kudos to Andy Reid and

193
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 1: his coaching staff are coming up with a great game plan,

194
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,559
Speaker 1: figuring out how to sort of pick apart what their

195
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 1: opponent was doing and pull out a win. Um, you know, look,

196
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles, I'm not gonna say they're gonna be back.

197
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna guarantee that because you never know, but

198
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: they are in a great position to be competitive for

199
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,880
Speaker 1: a while. They have a lot of talent. Uh. Nick

200
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: Sirianni is a very good head coach. So they are

201
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: positioned to certainly be in the mix for the foreseeable future.

202
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 1: It just turned out that Sunday it was not It

203
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,120
Speaker 1: was not their day looking ahead though, kind of because

204
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: what we do is is fantasy football. We do fake

205
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: football here and you tweeted on I guess it was

206
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 1: Monday about Josh Allen and kind of going through everything

207
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: that that Allen went through this year and and all

208
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: the metrics that sort of thing. You basically finished it

209
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,720
Speaker 1: by saying, I don't care what happened, Josh Allen is

210
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: my QB one next year. And I don't think you're alone.

211
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,560
Speaker 1: I think for most people, and I've done a couple

212
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 1: of mock drafts, maybe not as many as I would

213
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: hope too so far this season, but telling myself it's

214
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: only February. UM, in the mod drafts I have seen,

215
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is the first quarterback going off the board.

216
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: So that leads me to who is your QB two?

217
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: Because I feel like that person probably played in this

218
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: game on Sunday, Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts. Josh Allen's

219
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: off a board. You didn't get to him. Who's the

220
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: next quarterback you're reaching for? As of today of February, Again,

221
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 1: a lot could change between now in August. As of today,

222
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: it is Patrick Mahomes. Um. Because I love Jalen Hurts

223
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: and I was super bullish on him the last two

224
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: years in Fantasy but and like I had him ahead

225
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: of Mahomes last year. He was my QB three coming

226
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: into the season. But that's probably what he's gonna be, right.

227
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: I mean, he's definitely in the top three. And I

228
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: continue to say, you could put these top three in

229
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: any order, and I won't really give you much pushback.

230
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 1: But Mahomes is still gonna be tied to Andy Reid.

231
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: He's still gonna have Travis Kelsey. Uh Hurts is still

232
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 1: gonna have a j Brown and DeVonta Smith and Dallas Godard.

233
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: But right now, who's gonna be there? O C. They

234
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: just lost him money. Pieces of that offensive line are

235
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: set to become free agents. This is a really, really

236
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: big off season for the Eagles because they're gonna extend

237
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and then they're gonna have to make tough

238
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: decisions on who they want to bring back and who

239
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: they want to let walk. So as of right now,

240
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:04,920
Speaker 1: with there being so many unknowns around what that Philly

241
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: team might look like, I am I'm gonna go with

242
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes. He's as safe as it gets and and

243
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: real quick for anyone listening like, why is Josh Allen

244
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: the one? My only point was he was the QB

245
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 1: one for the two seasons prior. He was the QB

246
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 1: one for the first half of the season on pace

247
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: to shatter the QB scoring record until he got injured.

248
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: So I'm willing to give him a mulligan for the

249
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: second half of the season. If you're not and you

250
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: want to take one of these two ahead of him,

251
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 1: you're not gonna hear much of a of an argument

252
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: for me, because I think these three should be the

253
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 1: top three in any order, and Marcus, I'm doing a

254
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 1: slow Best Ball draft right now. They all went in

255
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: the second round, all in the top twenty picks, and

256
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,439
Speaker 1: I tweeted about it, and the responses are like, Wow,

257
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 1: they made it to the second round and I went

258
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:51,679
Speaker 1: in the first round. I think it's finally happening. Are

259
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 1: we going to get first round quarterbacks this year? This

260
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: is the years it's actually and I would I wouldn't

261
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,319
Speaker 1: be surprised in Best Ball Draft because I think especially

262
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: this time of year when you're looking at Best Ball drafts,

263
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: this is the time when people are sort of testing

264
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: out theories and getting a little bit weird. I mean,

265
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: I've talked to people who have who have gone Travis

266
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:12,720
Speaker 1: Kelsey at the one oh one. I think you're gonna

267
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: see first round quarterbacks because you can sort of play

268
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: with with roster build and see how things shake out

269
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: if you decide to go with a quarterback earlier, if

270
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: you go with a tight end at the very top

271
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 1: of the draft. So maybe this is the year I've

272
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: been I have been sort of poking at it for

273
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: a while. I will admit I have not been brave

274
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: enough to actually do it. But I have been been

275
00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: kicking around the idea, so maybe this is the year

276
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: it finally happens. Part of me wants to say Jalen

277
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 1: Hurts is the QB two, but but I think what

278
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: I saw out of my homes this year, and not

279
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 1: that I was a doubt or not that I didn't

280
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:51,120
Speaker 1: believe Patrick Mahomes could be great, but to see how

281
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: effective and efficient he was with the group of pass

282
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: catchers that he had um to to lose a Tyreek

283
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: Hill and to fill in the gaps with Marquez Valdes,

284
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: Scantling and Juju Smith Schuster, to bring in uh To

285
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,280
Speaker 1: Darius Tony midway through the season, to try and figure

286
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: out how to integrate sky More, Nicole Hardman, all these

287
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 1: different players, and to still have the amazing season that

288
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: he did throwing for fifty two hundred yards forty one touchdowns.

289
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 1: To do that with that cast of characters cemented that

290
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: he really is on track. If he can stay healthy

291
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,120
Speaker 1: and have longevity, he is on track to maybe surpass

292
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: Tom Brady as the greatest quarterback we have seen in

293
00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 1: the National Football League. So that I think is the

294
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: reason he's not going to run for the same kind

295
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: of yards that that Jalen Hurts is. But you know what,

296
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: he'll get you three hundred and fifty maybe four hundred

297
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 1: yards in a really good year and ain't too bad.

298
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: So that to me kind of gives him that that

299
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: number two spot. But it's close. It's absolutely really close.

300
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: H you mentioned the top three, who's number four? Is

301
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,320
Speaker 1: it justin Fields? As he crack your your top four

302
00:15:01,640 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: this year? Um, I think I think it's between Fields

303
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: and Borrow for me for for the fourth spot. UM.

304
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: I continue to say, though, I think there's eight quarterbacks

305
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: like after the big three, I think the second tier

306
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: is Fields Burrow in any order of Herbert Lamar and

307
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Like after those eight, I think there's a

308
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 1: drop off. There's some other guys like Deshaun Watson, Geno Smith,

309
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones. But I I think this is gonna be

310
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,160
Speaker 1: the year where I'm emphasizing like maybe I don't get

311
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: one of these top three if you're going in the

312
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: first or second round, but I will be getting one

313
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: of the next five guys, and probably before the sixth round.

314
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: I will tell you that I was shocked at how

315
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: quickly that in a couple of mock drafts. I've done that.

316
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 1: The quarterbacks went because I was like, I'm gonna wait

317
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: until like the third round, bank bank bank bank, and

318
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,640
Speaker 1: they were gone. I was like, Okay, well, I guess

319
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: I gotta change up that strategy. Uh. I just talked

320
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: about Mahomes and and how great he's been this year

321
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: and the first six seasons of his career. He has

322
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: been to three Super Bowls. He has one too, he

323
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 1: has been too. He's been Super Bowl m v P twice.

324
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: He has two NFL m vps. Let's just say, and

325
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: not wishing it, let's just say he decides to just

326
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 1: hang him up right that he never plays another down

327
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: to football again after a Super Bowl fifty seven? Is

328
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes a Hall of Famer? Yes, Like I no question,

329
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,400
Speaker 1: he could retire right now, and he's he's in there.

330
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 1: And in fact, I think, and maybe this is crazy

331
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: to say, I think you can already make the case

332
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: that he belongs to like the Mount Rushmore of quarterbacks,

333
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: Like isn't it Like don't quote me on this, but

334
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: it's like him, Tom Brady, Joe Montana, and like one

335
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: other quarterback are the only quarterbacks to have multiple mv

336
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: league MVPs and Super Bowl m v ps, and this

337
00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 1: guy is twenty seven years old. Like his age right now,

338
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Tom Brady didn't have a single m v P, single

339
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: All Pro appearance, and like, look at look at what

340
00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: I mean. Mahmes is only going to get better. And

341
00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: I know there's pile saying like, we're gonna have to

342
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: see him do it without Andy Reid and Travis Kelsey.

343
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: Eventually it's like, Okay. I was one of those people

344
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 1: who was like, he's not doesn't have Tyreek Hill, that's

345
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: gonna change this offense identity and all. And then he

346
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: just went out he completely revamped his game. He said,

347
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 1: all right, you don't want me to have the speedster guy,

348
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna break the record for short yard touchdowns. That's

349
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: what he did this year. Like he's he's amazing. I

350
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: will never doubt him. Uh he is tom Brady's biggest competition,

351
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: I would say for the goat, and uh yeah, he's

352
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,000
Speaker 1: He's a Hall of Famer already and one of the

353
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: greatest ever do it. I was looking yesterday at all

354
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks who have won two or more Super Bowls

355
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: in their career, and there are now that now that

356
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,800
Speaker 1: Mahomes has won. He is quarterback to win at least

357
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. And you go through and pretty much

358
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: all of them are in the Hall of Fame. The

359
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,679
Speaker 1: guys who aren't in the Hall of Fame, most of

360
00:17:56,680 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 1: them aren't eligible yet, right, Tom Brady not quite able yet.

361
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:04,320
Speaker 1: Eli Uh not eligible yet, say with Ben Roethlisberger. So

362
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,119
Speaker 1: those guys aren't even eligible for the Hall of Fame.

363
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 1: You know, Brady's getting there. It seems like the winds

364
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: are blowing for Eli to get in, and I would

365
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,640
Speaker 1: imagine Roethlisberger probably gets in. So you're gonna have that's

366
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 1: gonna make eleven or twelve of the thirteen. The only

367
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 1: guy who has two Super Bowls who was eligible for

368
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame who is not in is Jim Plunkett.

369
00:18:25,040 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: And I think a lot of that is the early

370
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,600
Speaker 1: part of his career. He was the number one overall pick.

371
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: Uh way back when your seventy one. He was the

372
00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: number one overall pick for the Patriots and really struggled

373
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: in the early part of his career. Uh just kind

374
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,560
Speaker 1: of bounced around the league, landed with the Raiders, and

375
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:44,960
Speaker 1: they sort of resurrected him and he ended up winning

376
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: a couple of Super Bowls there, I don't know if

377
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: Plunket's ever gonna get in, So he's gonna be like

378
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,359
Speaker 1: the lone exception. I think of guys who want two

379
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,719
Speaker 1: Super Bowls and aren't in the Hall of Fame. So, uh,

380
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 1: that combined with the passing records that that Mahomes looks

381
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: like he's on track to break, uh just the overall greatness,

382
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: the MVP awards, all that stuff. Yeah, I think he's

383
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,920
Speaker 1: he's he's probably a lock even at this moment to

384
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, to get in a let's somehow he follows

385
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: up with ten years of just math. But even it's

386
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: funny you just said that because my argument was gonna

387
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 1: be like, he's not retiring, so we got to take

388
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: that off the table. Even if he plays the next

389
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,199
Speaker 1: ten years and his mat like, we're gonna look at

390
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: it and say, look at his stats that he's compiled,

391
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: because in today's game, even a man Patrick Mahomes is

392
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 1: gonna average probably around four house in passing yards this

393
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: season at least, you know, somewhere like twenty five touchdowns,

394
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: So he would compile stats good enough to be in

395
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame. Then he would have multiple Super Bowls,

396
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: multiple Super Bowl m vps, and multiple league MVPs. He

397
00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,000
Speaker 1: could not win another award if he just finishes out

398
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: his career playing mediocre. I think he's a lock. So yeah,

399
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm I'm confident saying he's in there. Now that we've

400
00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:58,560
Speaker 1: gotten through this, I wanted to do a little bit

401
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: of a stock watch. We kind of did it think

402
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. But why is the guy

403
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: to do a stock watch of guys who played in

404
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl and uh where where you're thinking about

405
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:11,480
Speaker 1: them or how you're feeling about them when it comes

406
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,640
Speaker 1: to fantasy for next season? Travis Kelsey, let's start there.

407
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 1: We know he's going to be the first tight end

408
00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,880
Speaker 1: off the board. That's not even an argument. The argument, though,

409
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:24,560
Speaker 1: is how high does Travis Kelsey go after what he

410
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: did this season? Um, I think what you said earlier

411
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 1: is the one dotto one. I'm not saying he's going

412
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 1: to be the consensus one dotto one, but I think

413
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: he will, at least in some drafts go there. I

414
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: think though, that this is gonna be a season where

415
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:43,399
Speaker 1: there's not a consensus first player off the board, and

416
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: I think there'll be a consensus top six, and to me,

417
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:52,040
Speaker 1: that top six is Travis Kelsey, Austin Ekeler, Christian McCaffrey,

418
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:54,919
Speaker 1: and then the receivers being Justin Jefferson, Jamaar Chase, and

419
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: Cooper cup. I think those will be the top six

420
00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: in almost every draft this year. But I could see

421
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: them going in almost any order. So I could see

422
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Kelsey going first overall, I could see him going sixth overall.

423
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: I don't really see him going much later than that,

424
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: and I definitely don't see him falling out of the

425
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: first round. Yeah, he's definitely gonna fall out of the

426
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: first round. I think you're gonna struggle to see him

427
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,119
Speaker 1: fall past five. I think in a lot of drafts,

428
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: i've seen him go as high as one overall. Um,

429
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,399
Speaker 1: And when you talk about the lack of a consensus

430
00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 1: number one, I've seen Kelsey, I've seen Justin Jefferson, you know,

431
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,159
Speaker 1: I've seen Eckler. I mean, there's already a handful of

432
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:36,160
Speaker 1: names that are sort of circulating, and I think it's

433
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: gonna be like that all off season where we're not

434
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,440
Speaker 1: just going to land on one guy, which I think

435
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 1: is gonna be fun. I think it's gonna be interesting.

436
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a discussion point because I always get

437
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 1: sort of bored when we just sort of settle on

438
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 1: a guy and it's March and we're just like, yep,

439
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor, that's your guy, you know. Like so that

440
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 1: having having this discussion all year long, I think it's

441
00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of fun, a lot of interesting

442
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: things to talk about. And Travis Kelsey very much in

443
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: that mix. Isaiah pa Checko had a pretty nice game

444
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl for Kansas City, and you know,

445
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 1: we had sort of been joking about his running style.

446
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 1: He runs really hard, doesn't seem like he's necessarily getting anywhere,

447
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,680
Speaker 1: but seventy six rushing yards had to touch them. Really

448
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:23,440
Speaker 1: was an impactful player. Does this change how you feel

449
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 1: about him? Do you believe that he's going to be

450
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 1: the guy in Kansas City's backfield next year or are

451
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 1: they gonna find somebody else to rotate him with. I

452
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: think he'll be the lead ground guy. Um I I

453
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: still anticipate like a Jerick mccannan, or if it's not him,

454
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: someone else coming in there to handle the bulk of

455
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: the passing down duties. Uh there, I know as the

456
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:48,600
Speaker 1: in the regular season. As we got later, they tried

457
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 1: throwing him the ball a little bit more, but in

458
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 1: the playoffs we saw that, like, that's not what they

459
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: believe that his role is. And I I think he

460
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: can be a really good ground guy. I don't think

461
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: the Chiefs are gonna be a team that invests in

462
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: running back position very hard, so I think that leads

463
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 1: to him being the guy. But if he's not the

464
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,280
Speaker 1: past catcher as well, that still keeps him as more

465
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: of a RB two for fantasy purposes, and it makes

466
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 1: him someone that doesn't have a super high floor um

467
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: and could be a little bit volatile week to week.

468
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 1: I think he'd be it all to me. He's one

469
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 1: of those players that it depends on where he's going

470
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: in drafts, Like if he's going as a r B two,

471
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 1: then fine, he's a fine pick. But people seem to

472
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: really love hyping this guy up. And I think that's

473
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: my biggest beef with him, is like I don't think

474
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 1: he's a bad player at all. I just I think

475
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: he gets overhyped. I think, yeah, I think he's a

476
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,000
Speaker 1: he's a good player. He's fine. I don't think he's

477
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,480
Speaker 1: that guy Clyde Edwards a Laire still has one more

478
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: year on his deal. I don't know that they're going

479
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: to pick up that fifth year option for him, but

480
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: I feel like we all sort of know who c. E.

481
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,879
Speaker 1: H Is at this point. I mean, you got off

482
00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: a really quick start last year, scoring a lot of touchdowns,

483
00:23:57,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: but we all sort of looked at that and he's like,

484
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: that's that's the stage annable, That's not gonna keep going. Then,

485
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,960
Speaker 1: unfortunately for him, he ended up getting injured and missed

486
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. But I I it's obvious

487
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,160
Speaker 1: that the Chiefs aren't sold on him. I think it's

488
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 1: going to continue to be a rotation. I think Pacheco

489
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: will be a rotational guy, and I don't know that

490
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: I would take a shot on him before the middle

491
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,679
Speaker 1: rounds in any sort of draft because he's just not

492
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:25,639
Speaker 1: going to be a big part of that. The question is,

493
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: you know who's the past catcher. Is it Jerick McKinnon,

494
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: is it somebody else where? Does Edwards Alaire slot in?

495
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: Because he's not gonna completely vanish even if he's not

496
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 1: necessarily the workhorse that once upon a time we thought

497
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 1: he could be. Darius Tony, I tweeted after he scored

498
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: the touchdown. That scream you heard was Michael Florio uh

499
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: celebrating the cal Darius Tony touchdown. Not only did he

500
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: have a big touchdown, had a huge punt return that's

501
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: set up a touchdown, very nearly had the first punch

502
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: reteller in touchdown in Super Bowl history. Was tackled right

503
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 1: around the five yard line, So we saw a little

504
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: bit of what he could do. Still didn't get a

505
00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: big role in the offense in the Super Bowl. Are

506
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: you going to reach not? Are you? How high are

507
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: you going to reach for Darius Tony next year? As

508
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,959
Speaker 1: high as I gotta no, I do anticipate having him

509
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: on a lot of teams because I feel like the

510
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:27,359
Speaker 1: hype this year and and I'm the guiltiest of anyone

511
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: hyping him up. Um. I feel like it's it's had

512
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: a reverse effect and it's piste off a lot of people.

513
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: Like I've I've seen a lot of people being like,

514
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: Darius Tony, He's gonna be overdrafted next year, He's this whatever,

515
00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. And I'm like, Okay, if that's the case,

516
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: and you just want to let him fall down draft boards,

517
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:48,000
Speaker 1: I will gladly gobble him up. The thing is, I'm

518
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 1: hopeful let an off season with the Chiefs leads to

519
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,640
Speaker 1: a larger role, especially me called Hardman's a free agent,

520
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Jujuice Smith Schuster said to be a free agent. Maybe

521
00:25:56,600 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 1: there's just more opportunity there. Maybe an off season Andy

522
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,159
Speaker 1: Reid really getting the game plan around Kadarius Tony. I

523
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,439
Speaker 1: think that could do wonders for him. And I just

524
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 1: anticipate him being cheaper than he was this year and

525
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: a lot of drafts this year he was going somewhere

526
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: like the six seventh, eighth round. I think next year

527
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: we could get Kadarius Tony and the double digits because

528
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: people are gonna be like, yeah, we've heard this story before,

529
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, it's a complete buying opportunity.

530
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: But that being said, man, you would think when Kadarius

531
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Tony does something that I do something like you the

532
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: NFL fantasy handle tweeted me and like the text that

533
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:34,680
Speaker 1: I get, like people are like, oh my god, your boy,

534
00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: and I'm just like, I'm not the one out there

535
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,639
Speaker 1: doing this like it happened when he got traded to

536
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Every time he has a big play, in

537
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 1: a big moment or something like that. I get at

538
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 1: least text from multiple people and I'm like, I'm not

539
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: Cadarius Tony or his family or anything, but thank you.

540
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: You have a brand now, Like yeah, people were telling

541
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: me I'm his burner account. Now, I mean you're not.

542
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:01,120
Speaker 1: I don't know. You know it's funny too, because you

543
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: I think I imagined that a lot of your rosters

544
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,959
Speaker 1: this year are going to have guys that people are

545
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:12,920
Speaker 1: sick of hearing about. Darius Tony, Kyle Pitts. I'm sure

546
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: if I thought about it, there's probably a couple of

547
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 1: other guys there that everybody else in the world's like,

548
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: I'm not doing it again, and you're gonna be like, yep,

549
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna jump right back in which I'm gonna be

550
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: amused by. I don't. I don't think there's anything wrong

551
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 1: with it, anything wrong with it at all. I think

552
00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: it's amusing. In the Best Ball Draft, I saw Kyle

553
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: Pitts go in the fifth round, and even it was like,

554
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 1: this is where he's starting out. It's gonna be back

555
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 1: into the third round come all day. No, I saw

556
00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: it in not even in a Best Ball draft, just

557
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: a regular redraft mock that he went in the fifth round.

558
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,199
Speaker 1: So people might they might, you know, gripe about it,

559
00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: they might complain about what happened, But it seems like

560
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: a lot of people are still in on Kyle Pitts.

561
00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,600
Speaker 1: So we're not gonna get that fat discount that we

562
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:53,000
Speaker 1: were hoping for after what happened last year. Um last

563
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 1: stock watch. Miles Sanders, who I thought was gonna have

564
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,880
Speaker 1: a really nice game against the Kansas City run defense,

565
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 1: was a non factor. Got the ball in the first

566
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,719
Speaker 1: play of the game, took a hit, sort of fumbled

567
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: it out of bounds, was off the field for a

568
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: long time. Did come back later, but again seven carries

569
00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: for sixteen yards. He had the one target, which was

570
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 1: ruled originally a fumble, then was ruled incomplete, but just

571
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: a no show generally speaking. Now on the whole, had

572
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 1: a really nice season. We always joked about Miles Sanders, saying,

573
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: don't draft me, and we didn't, and then a lot

574
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 1: of us were regretting that decision. Does one game undo

575
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: everything he did during the season. Also keeping in mind

576
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: that he's expected to hit free agency as well and

577
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 1: may not be back in Philadelphia. How how do we

578
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 1: feel about Bios Sanders now versus what we did maybe

579
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:56,760
Speaker 1: a month ago. Uh, the Super Bowl doesn't change really

580
00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: anything for me. It was one game, like he said,

581
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,760
Speaker 1: where he kind of got banged up. But what I

582
00:29:02,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: just don't think I'm as high on a Miles Sanders

583
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,400
Speaker 1: as others might be. I think he's a good running back.

584
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: I think he's capable of having some really nice games.

585
00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: Like if you look at his game log, especially early on,

586
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Speaker 1: he had some really big blow up games, but the

587
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:20,680
Speaker 1: final including the playoffs, his final seven games, he topped

588
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 1: sixty five rushing yards once and never had over a hundred.

589
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: So I'm wondering if he was starting to break down.

590
00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:30,479
Speaker 1: Maybe the big workload was catching up to him. But also,

591
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: like you said, he's gonna hit free agency. It's gonna

592
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: be hard unless he comes back to Philly to see

593
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: him and as in as positive of an environment as

594
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 1: he just played in. Like the Eagles had one of

595
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 1: the best old line. They had the best rushing attack,

596
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: I would say, and so much of that is because

597
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 1: of Jalen Hurts in that offensive line. So you take

598
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:49,480
Speaker 1: him off of there and you put him on another team.

599
00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: To me, he's probably going to be an RB two.

600
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: But the point that I think me and you I

601
00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: know have definitely harped on already is like running back

602
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: is gonna look completely different next year because the more

603
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: than half the league is free agents. There's a bunch

604
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: of people like Dalvin Cook, Aaron Jones, Leonard Fornette, Joe

605
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: Mix and who could all be cap casualties and cut

606
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: and then they're joining the free agency class, and then

607
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 1: there's a really deep draft class coming in as well.

608
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: So um with Philly having to make all the decisions

609
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: that they have to make, I think they're going to

610
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: let Miles Sanders walk, and obviously his fantasy value is

611
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:28,520
Speaker 1: gonna greatly depend on where he lands, but I don't

612
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: I don't foresee myself being super bullish on him in

613
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 1: fantasy next year. He crushed so many career highs this year.

614
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: When you look at total touches, uh scrimmage yards, he

615
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,680
Speaker 1: was just over what his career high was as a rookie.

616
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 1: Eleven touchdowns when he'd never had more than six in

617
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: a season. The twelve hundred rushing yards when he'd never

618
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 1: had more than eight sixties seven in a season. Those

619
00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: are gonna be hard to match. Simply because wherever he goes,

620
00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: and I think even if he stays in Philly or

621
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 1: if he goes somewhere else, I don't know that anybody's

622
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: and to give him that level of opportunity again, and

623
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 1: I think that's going to make it hard for him

624
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 1: to sort of repeat what he did. I do think

625
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: that what we saw the first three years, it's probably

626
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: more indicative of who Miles Sanders is and who he's

627
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: going to be wherever he goes, because we know this,

628
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 1: running backs right now aren't getting paid really in free agency,

629
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,920
Speaker 1: especially not a guy who really has never proven that

630
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: he can be a true workhorse back. And you talk

631
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:29,719
Speaker 1: about what he did at the end of the season,

632
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: we saw a lot more Knneth Gainwell getting opportunities as

633
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 1: the year went on, as we got late into December, January,

634
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, there was more of an emphasis on

635
00:31:39,360 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: Kenneth Gainwell getting opportunities and sort of de emphasizing Miles Sanders.

636
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: So I do think that's going to sort of play

637
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,080
Speaker 1: into it. I still think he's potentially a low end

638
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: RB two depending on where he goes. We'll see what

639
00:31:51,000 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: the offense is like where he lands. Wherever it is.

640
00:31:54,160 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 1: But the idea that Miles Sanders is going to somehow

641
00:31:57,560 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 1: turn a corner and continue to be the guy that

642
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 1: we saw for the first two thirds of this season

643
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,560
Speaker 1: heels really hard to believe. But yeah, also, he's not

644
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,840
Speaker 1: as bad as what we saw in the Super Bowl either.

645
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: So there's like most things, it's a gray area. There's

646
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: a whole lot of in between. Despite you know what

647
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: random Twitter arguments might have you believe about any random

648
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,239
Speaker 1: NFL players. We're not done with the Super Bowl. We're

649
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: gonna look back at some of our predictions spoiler alert

650
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: they stunk, but we'll talk about that a little bit,

651
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: and some other changes going on with the Philadelphia Eagles

652
00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 1: that could have a big impact come three. That's after

653
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: the break. You're on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. So

654
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,360
Speaker 1: on last week's show, we went and put together some

655
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: predictions about what we thought was going to happen in

656
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl fifty seven, and maybe for our sake, it

657
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,400
Speaker 1: probably would have been better if those things just flew

658
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,120
Speaker 1: off into the ether. But all credit to Ryan did Us,

659
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 1: who was diligent and wrote down what we said so

660
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: that we could come back and look at it. And um, yeah,

661
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: I I have a taste in my mouth, and it

662
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: is obviously bitter because we were pretty awful. Floria not good.

663
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: It was not good. And also, let's just go through

664
00:33:16,280 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 1: these because it's it's fine. We can point and laugh

665
00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 1: at ourselves. It's all good. Um. I asked you the

666
00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,640
Speaker 1: leading rush shirt was going to be in this game.

667
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: You said it was gonna be Jalen Hurts. I said

668
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: it was gonna be Miles Sanders. The actual answer was

669
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco with seventies six yards. You were significantly closer

670
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 1: than I was. Jalen Hurts had the Super Bowl record

671
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: for a quarterback seventy rushing yards for Jalen Hurts. Meanwhile,

672
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:45,040
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders, as I mentioned earlier, seven for sixteen. So

673
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: kudos to you. You at least were yardage wise, at

674
00:33:49,040 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 1: least in the ballpark. Without If you told me the

675
00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: leader besides Hurts would have seventy six and Hurts ran

676
00:33:55,480 --> 00:33:58,520
Speaker 1: fifteen times, I'd be like, oh, I'm easily crushing this one.

677
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: So I mean, I guess kudos to the Chiefs defense

678
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,560
Speaker 1: for Keiden Hurts somewhat contained absolutely so that that one

679
00:34:06,680 --> 00:34:10,960
Speaker 1: was was pretty bad for me. Let's see most receptions

680
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: you said Jerick McKinnon, who only had three catches for

681
00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 1: fifteen yards. I had a j Brown who at least

682
00:34:17,080 --> 00:34:21,560
Speaker 1: had six catches for nineties six. The actual answer was

683
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 1: Juju Smith, Schuster and DeVonta Smith, who were tied with

684
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: seven apiece. So Jared McKinnon was not the pass catching

685
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,840
Speaker 1: factor they used to be a lot of other ways.

686
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 1: I thought he was a good decoy. He was a

687
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,879
Speaker 1: lead blocker on on an Isaiah Pachecko touchdown. But yeah,

688
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: he was not. He was not a pass catcher at

689
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: all this week. No, No, he could have scored a

690
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: touchdown if he, you know, selfishly did not slide at

691
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: the one to allow his team to win a Super Bowl.

692
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:50,799
Speaker 1: He could have scored one. But uh yeah, I thought

693
00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: for sure he'd be used more than he was, and

694
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,880
Speaker 1: he was on a milk cart and for much of

695
00:34:54,880 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: the game. It's funny too, because if that had happened

696
00:34:57,560 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: during the regular season, I'm sure people would have been

697
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,319
Speaker 1: howling on Twitter about how, you know, they had Jered

698
00:35:03,400 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 1: McKinnon as a flex option and he should have scored

699
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: a touchdown and blah, blah blah. I feel like in

700
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl it was more like, hey, that was

701
00:35:10,080 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 1: a really smart play and good job Jeric McKinnon. So

702
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,240
Speaker 1: take away that I've seen is, uh, should we change

703
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 1: the rule where the player gives themselves up the clock stops?

704
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:24,799
Speaker 1: And I don't hate that rule. That's interesting. I never

705
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,040
Speaker 1: thought about that, but that's interesting. So like that forces

706
00:35:27,080 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: you either to decide you either score the touchdown or

707
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:33,359
Speaker 1: you gotta run some more plays. I'm willing to entertain that.

708
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 1: I think that's that's kind of a good one. I asked,

709
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: will there be a defensive touchdown? We both said no,

710
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:40,960
Speaker 1: although we both said that if it happened, it would

711
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: be the Eagles. Wrong. There was a defensive touchdown and

712
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,120
Speaker 1: it was not the Eagles. Nick Bolton had a scoop

713
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: and score on a Jalen Hurts fumble, and for a

714
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: moment it looked like he was going to have a

715
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,760
Speaker 1: second one on a Miles Sanders we thought was originally

716
00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 1: called a fumble. They overturned that and called that an

717
00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: incompletion I think even and said, he's like, I knew

718
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,719
Speaker 1: that was incomplete, but I was gonna play it out

719
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:06,160
Speaker 1: just to see what happened. So big swinging a miss

720
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: right there? Um there, there will never be an easier

721
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 1: defensive touchdown in the Super Bowl than the one that

722
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 1: they scored too. Not dropped it like. It wasn't like

723
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:19,479
Speaker 1: he was he was hit or anything. He just dropped it. Yeah. Yeah,

724
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:21,600
Speaker 1: I know exactly like you. Just the ball just slipped

725
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: out of his hands. Uh. The the one that comes

726
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 1: to mind for me is, uh, Jack Squire Wreck for

727
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,520
Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders had an interception on just a just

728
00:36:32,600 --> 00:36:35,440
Speaker 1: a lazy sort of outpassed by Joe Eisman in the

729
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 1: Super Bowl back I think super Bowl eighteen. I think

730
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: it was. And that was pretty easy too, because I

731
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: don't know what Tisman was looking at, but it, Uh,

732
00:36:43,880 --> 00:36:45,680
Speaker 1: it was pretty easy. It was a pretty quick and

733
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: easy one. Um. We did ask, will Rihanna have more

734
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: than two guests? This is the one we got right.

735
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:57,920
Speaker 1: It wasn't even about football. We said no, No, she

736
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,439
Speaker 1: did not have more than two guests. Do we count

737
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: the baby bump as a guest? I think we can

738
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: either way that either it's still less than two. Though.

739
00:37:07,840 --> 00:37:10,600
Speaker 1: I thought with no guests and with her just doing

740
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:13,880
Speaker 1: straight songs like, I still thought she killed it. Absolutely No.

741
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,919
Speaker 1: I thought it was a great show. She had played

742
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,479
Speaker 1: a lot of the hits earlier on Super Bowl Today.

743
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 1: During the week, Patrick Claybne and I put together a

744
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: set list that we thought was going to happen. I

745
00:37:23,080 --> 00:37:26,320
Speaker 1: think we might have had a ten songs nailed three.

746
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,520
Speaker 1: So uh so, not only am I not good at

747
00:37:29,520 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: super Bowl predictions, I can't predict the Rihanna set list either.

748
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:35,600
Speaker 1: She she has so many songs that like, there were

749
00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,719
Speaker 1: songs that I was like, oh, I forgot this was

750
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:40,120
Speaker 1: even what like you know, like you haven't heard him

751
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:43,000
Speaker 1: in a while. Yeah. In my defense, she did admit

752
00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 1: that she had like thirty nine versions of the set

753
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: list before they finally settled on one, so you know,

754
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: I will chalk that up. Who will be the Super

755
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,440
Speaker 1: Bowl m v P We both said Jalen Hurts it

756
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:59,080
Speaker 1: was Patrick Mahomes. And who wins Super Bowl fifty seven?

757
00:37:59,160 --> 00:38:03,240
Speaker 1: We both said the Eagles and it was the Chiefs. So,

758
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:09,920
Speaker 1: uh we suck. That was not great? Not great, Bob,

759
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: We sort of sucked when it came to that. Well,

760
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:15,920
Speaker 1: we group, I will try again next year. Good thing

761
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,320
Speaker 1: we have we have. I think we have decent fantasy advice,

762
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: even if our advice and other things sort of sort

763
00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:23,840
Speaker 1: of sucks. Um on in the show though, was some

764
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,720
Speaker 1: more actual kind of football talk because I talked about

765
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 1: the changes that are coming in Philadelphia and they are

766
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: losing both of their coordinators. Offensive coordinator Shane Steiken has

767
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,760
Speaker 1: been hired as the head coach of the Indianapolis Colts.

768
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:43,799
Speaker 1: Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, well, he was just at State

769
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 1: Farm Stadium in Glendale. He will call that home now

770
00:38:46,560 --> 00:38:50,560
Speaker 1: because he is the Arizona Cardinals head coach. You talked

771
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:53,920
Speaker 1: about a little bit about you know, Jalen Hurts and uh,

772
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:56,799
Speaker 1: you know, the backfield and what's going to happen next year.

773
00:38:57,760 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 1: What immediate concerns, if any, do you have have about

774
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:04,080
Speaker 1: this Eagles offense knowing that one of the architects of

775
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:07,799
Speaker 1: it is going to be in Indianapolis next year. Yeah,

776
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: that's a big one to me. I mean, the o

777
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: C is huge, even with someone like Sirianni who has

778
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:16,279
Speaker 1: a offensive background, Like the fact that you're losing your

779
00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 1: o C I think always hurts. And then you added

780
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,080
Speaker 1: no pun intended there, and then I think, uh, you

781
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: add in the potential like they could lose multiple offensive

782
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:27,760
Speaker 1: alignment and that was a key staple of their offense.

783
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: So I still think for fantasy Hurts will be fine.

784
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: A J. Brown will be fine, to VONSA Smith will

785
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: be fine. Um, but for them to be at the

786
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:37,840
Speaker 1: level they were this year, Like if you're a Philly

787
00:39:37,840 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 1: fan or something like that, or you're looking ahead to

788
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 1: next season, this is a huge off season for Philly

789
00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: on on both sides of the ball because I believe

790
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:48,759
Speaker 1: it's nineteen of their players or free agents, so that's

791
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,840
Speaker 1: a whole lot of them, nineteen altogether, eleven on defense,

792
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:54,560
Speaker 1: They're gonna be a probably a different look to this

793
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:58,279
Speaker 1: Eagles team next year. I think for the most part,

794
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: I don't expect anything major to have happened with the Eagles.

795
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see who does come in to take

796
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: over the spot there. Um, you know, but I think

797
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,880
Speaker 1: this team is already set up in a good position.

798
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:14,080
Speaker 1: Uh you know, they've got Hurts there, They've you know,

799
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 1: they've got two good receivers in A. J. Brown Devanta Smith.

800
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: Uh you know, having Dallas Goddard has been a big

801
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:24,120
Speaker 1: boost to the middle of the field there. So we'll see.

802
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean there's talk that uh, you know, Brian Johnson

803
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: could end up taking over as the offensive coordinator. We'll

804
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 1: see if that happens, I don't know, but that is

805
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of an interesting storyline for the off season. Meanwhile,

806
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,319
Speaker 1: stike In going to Indianapolis. This is a team that

807
00:40:41,440 --> 00:40:44,320
Speaker 1: you know, they're not a bad team at least on paper.

808
00:40:44,880 --> 00:40:47,320
Speaker 1: They had a bad record last year at for twelve

809
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:50,120
Speaker 1: and one. What's the biggest priority you think for stike

810
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: In to kind of get this thing turned around next year?

811
00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,040
Speaker 1: I think the gimme is the quarterback and they're gonna

812
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,160
Speaker 1: have their pick of one of the least four of

813
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,480
Speaker 1: them in the first round, potentially even moving up to

814
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 1: number one overall. But I think getting Jonathan Taylor going

815
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,520
Speaker 1: again it's just as big of a priority, if not bigger.

816
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,520
Speaker 1: Like stike And he's been an o C three years

817
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:12,960
Speaker 1: to to the last two with Philly. The year prior

818
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:16,160
Speaker 1: with the Chargers, all three was finished top ten in

819
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,879
Speaker 1: rushing attempts uh and he was in the top three

820
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: each of the last two years in rushing attempts and

821
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 1: top five in rushing yards in touchdowns. So as great

822
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:29,120
Speaker 1: as the Philly passing attack was this year, their identity

823
00:41:29,160 --> 00:41:30,880
Speaker 1: is still comes down to like they were the best

824
00:41:31,080 --> 00:41:32,959
Speaker 1: good luck stopping the run when you need to stop

825
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 1: the run against them, and even in the Super Bowl

826
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: we saw that, like they're the best short yardage run

827
00:41:37,239 --> 00:41:39,719
Speaker 1: team in the league. So I think you really need

828
00:41:39,760 --> 00:41:43,080
Speaker 1: to get Jonathan Taylor going again, and and that includes

829
00:41:43,239 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 1: revamping this offensive line because they went from being one

830
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:48,800
Speaker 1: of the very best to one of the very worst

831
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:51,719
Speaker 1: in an off season. I think there's still talent here.

832
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: I think you can you can rebuild it um. Obviously,

833
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:58,120
Speaker 1: getting the quarterback is huge, but protecting the quarterback and

834
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: and and being able to help the game goes a

835
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: long way for a rookie quarterback as well. Absolutely does.

836
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: I think for them the biggest thing has to just

837
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:11,960
Speaker 1: be stability at quarterback. They just need a guy that

838
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 1: they feel like they can work with and develop over

839
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,279
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Because you look back, I mean,

840
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: Frank Reich took over this team in the belief that

841
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:22,880
Speaker 1: they were going to have Andrew Luck long term. He

842
00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 1: gets Luck for one year, then Luck retires in five seasons,

843
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:33,360
Speaker 1: Frank Reich had five different quarterbacks, and there's just no

844
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:37,520
Speaker 1: way to build continuity when you were doing that year

845
00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:40,600
Speaker 1: after year. I mean, to go from Andrew Luck to

846
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,120
Speaker 1: Jacoby Brissett as sort of a bridge option. Philip Rivers

847
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:46,560
Speaker 1: in his final year, Carson Wentz which turned out to

848
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: be sort of a disaster down the stretch, and then

849
00:42:48,719 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan, who fell apart. It just looked every bit

850
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 1: his age. Um, they've got to get somebody in there,

851
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: preferably somebody young that they feel like, Okay, this is

852
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: gonna be our guy for the next at least three years,

853
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:03,719
Speaker 1: and we can build with him and see what we have.

854
00:43:03,960 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: That continuity, I think is going to be important, and

855
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:08,480
Speaker 1: so that I think is going to be the chief

856
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,400
Speaker 1: option for Stike in But I think you're right in

857
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,080
Speaker 1: the short term getting Jonathan Taylor going again until you

858
00:43:14,160 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: find that potential franchise quarterback is a big deal. I

859
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,200
Speaker 1: know they said they're gonna try to throw the ball,

860
00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:22,040
Speaker 1: but they're gonna have to establish the run as well.

861
00:43:22,120 --> 00:43:24,880
Speaker 1: So at least the coach speak part of it seems

862
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,360
Speaker 1: to be there for Stike and we'll see whether or

863
00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,440
Speaker 1: not he's able to put that together on the field.

864
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:32,720
Speaker 1: The Colts, as you mentioned, the number four overall pick,

865
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,200
Speaker 1: so they will have, you would think, some options at quarterback,

866
00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:39,520
Speaker 1: and maybe they do package some things and try to

867
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:41,560
Speaker 1: move up a spot or two. I mean, look the Bears,

868
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:43,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they're drafting a quarterback in one. I

869
00:43:43,520 --> 00:43:45,600
Speaker 1: think that number one pick is out there for the

870
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:50,240
Speaker 1: taking for somebody who can put together the right package. Meanwhile,

871
00:43:50,320 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon goes to Arizona. They have a guy they

872
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,799
Speaker 1: think can be a franchise quarterback. They've got a lot

873
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: of resources tied up in Kyler Murray, who admittedly is

874
00:43:59,080 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 1: rehabbing from an injury this offseason. I thought the belief

875
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: was going to be that they had to bring somebody

876
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:09,799
Speaker 1: in that could resort of reboot Kyler Murray. I know

877
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: they thought Cliff Kingsbury was gonna be the guy to

878
00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,040
Speaker 1: maximize it. That never happened to two of him, but

879
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 1: it heads Cliff Kingsbury then decided to go off to

880
00:44:17,080 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: Thailand to get his head straight. I joked he was

881
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 1: gonna be in season three of The White Lotus. But

882
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: Jonathan Gannon not an offensive guy. What does this mean

883
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:29,400
Speaker 1: for Kyler Murray? I mean, does this mean they have

884
00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:33,560
Speaker 1: to bring in a quarterback centric oc to get him

885
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,480
Speaker 1: going because it doesn't seem like Gannon is gonna be

886
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:40,480
Speaker 1: that guy. I think so, and I don't love this

887
00:44:40,680 --> 00:44:45,760
Speaker 1: higher and nothing against Gannon. Oftentimes, at least in today's NFL,

888
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,439
Speaker 1: you want an offensive minded head coach, it's very rare.

889
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: I think the last defensive one that worked out, we

890
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:55,400
Speaker 1: could say, is Sean McDermott, and that's going back six

891
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 1: seven years ago now at this point, so um and

892
00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 1: also Gannon's defense. They were great this year, but it

893
00:45:02,680 --> 00:45:04,640
Speaker 1: took a huge step once they brought in a bunch

894
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:06,359
Speaker 1: of veterans who are like playing at an a whole

895
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 1: pro level, that this Cardinals defense is gonna need to

896
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: be completely rebuilt. There there's not a lot of talent

897
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 1: on that side of the ball. And then I always

898
00:45:14,520 --> 00:45:17,279
Speaker 1: get concerned with the defensive coach, like are they gonna

899
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,600
Speaker 1: want to play to their strengths, which is the defense,

900
00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 1: So that means a lot more running the ball, a

901
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,320
Speaker 1: lot less chances, and when you have a quarterback like

902
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:26,600
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, I want them to be out there taking

903
00:45:26,680 --> 00:45:29,440
Speaker 1: chances doing what he can do. Like we joked a

904
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,880
Speaker 1: lot last season that the Cardinals game plan was like

905
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,839
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury managed the show for three and a half

906
00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:38,360
Speaker 1: quarters and then asked Kyler Mury to do wizardry type

907
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,279
Speaker 1: things at the end of games to kind of drag

908
00:45:40,360 --> 00:45:43,239
Speaker 1: them back, and that's a strategy that's very, very hard

909
00:45:43,280 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: to do. So I would have liked an offensive minded

910
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: coach here. But I think this is gonna be a

911
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:51,359
Speaker 1: huge offseason for the Cardinals. Like I think d Hop

912
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 1: is gone, James Conner could easily be gone, Marcus Brown's

913
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 1: on the last deal of last year of his contract,

914
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,279
Speaker 1: I believe, so. I think just on both sides, ball

915
00:46:00,280 --> 00:46:03,319
Speaker 1: like they're entering a rebuild, which is also why I mean,

916
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:06,799
Speaker 1: I know we're we're not anticipating Kyler Murray being back

917
00:46:06,840 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: early in the season, but it wouldn't surprise me if

918
00:46:09,719 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: Kyler misses a large chunk of next season. Just because

919
00:46:13,600 --> 00:46:15,879
Speaker 1: this is clearly a rebuilding team. I think they're gonna

920
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:17,959
Speaker 1: be having their eyes towards the future in their draft

921
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,400
Speaker 1: stock and stuff like that. I don't see why they

922
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,520
Speaker 1: would rush Kyler Mury back from from his severe injury. Yeah,

923
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a good point when you look at

924
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: the rest of the division, especially uh and and your

925
00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: Ryan makes a good point. Ryan Dennis makes a good

926
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,000
Speaker 1: point that they give again in a five year deal,

927
00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 1: so they are willing to be patient. They're willing to

928
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:38,560
Speaker 1: let him sort of build this thing and unless he

929
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 1: is just completely awful in the first couple of years,

930
00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:46,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, Urban Meyer level bad. Uh. I

931
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,160
Speaker 1: don't think you know they're they're going to cut ties

932
00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,319
Speaker 1: with him early on because you look at that division, right,

933
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 1: the Niners are still going to be very good. The

934
00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 1: Seahawks had a very good year, and they looked like

935
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 1: they potentially could be improving this offseason. I don't think

936
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: the Rams are as bad as they played last year.

937
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:07,120
Speaker 1: I think if they can keep some people healthy, I

938
00:47:07,120 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see them at least be better. Maybe

939
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know they're a contending team, but

940
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:14,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they're a five and twelve team either.

941
00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: So that does leave you in Arizona sort of in

942
00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:21,200
Speaker 1: a situation where maybe you do kind of pause and

943
00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:24,200
Speaker 1: and try to begin a rebuild, get Kyler healthy, make

944
00:47:24,200 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: sure you you kind of build around him, and see

945
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:28,319
Speaker 1: what you can do a couple of years from now.

946
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see. But it was

947
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,319
Speaker 1: a higher that kind of struck me as weird, just

948
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: because it didn't seem to fit what the priorities of

949
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:41,080
Speaker 1: the franchise are right now. But we will see how

950
00:47:41,120 --> 00:47:44,120
Speaker 1: they decide to handle the off season, and we'll talk

951
00:47:44,160 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: about that and plenty more as the off season begins.

952
00:47:47,160 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 1: Um So, next week we also start the Florio Film Festival.

953
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,600
Speaker 1: I know you mentioned you're in the new place. Now,

954
00:47:53,719 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 1: do you have the apparatus set up, whether it's your

955
00:47:56,560 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 1: streaming services, your Xbox, whatever, so you can watch Terminator

956
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: to Judgment day. We can talk about it next week. Yep.

957
00:48:04,520 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 1: I was I was gonna watch it last night, but

958
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:09,000
Speaker 1: then you everyone to kind of agreed we should hold

959
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,600
Speaker 1: off a week, and I was like, that works even

960
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 1: better for me. I almost watched it two nights ago,

961
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 1: and then I realized I didn't have the Xbox and

962
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:17,760
Speaker 1: by the time I found that in my wires and everything,

963
00:48:18,120 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 1: I was like, I don't feel like watching a movie

964
00:48:19,800 --> 00:48:22,520
Speaker 1: right now. But I will have it watched by next

965
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:25,040
Speaker 1: Wednesday and be very, very excited to talk about it.

966
00:48:25,080 --> 00:48:29,600
Speaker 1: I will also say that our our pal Patrick Claibon

967
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: has asked if he could come in and be a

968
00:48:32,960 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 1: part of this segment, at least for Terminator too, because

969
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 1: as far as I know, he is our resident T

970
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:43,680
Speaker 1: two expert when it comes to all things Terminator to

971
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,920
Speaker 1: Judgment day. I trust Patrick Claiborn and so he has

972
00:48:47,960 --> 00:48:51,640
Speaker 1: requested jumping in, So I I feel like we should

973
00:48:51,640 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: invite him in and he can talk about T two

974
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,280
Speaker 1: with us. Next week. He is welcome to talk about

975
00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: every movie we watch and every like. I love Patrick.

976
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:02,400
Speaker 1: If he wants to join us every single week, have

977
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 1: at it. Come on, because are you coming to talk

984
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some movies because it's the off season

985
00:49:22,440 --> 00:49:24,120
Speaker 1: and we can do that because we got extra time

986
00:49:24,160 --> 00:49:26,480
Speaker 1: to do so right now though, I think that's a

987
00:49:26,520 --> 00:49:29,000
